Dealership Profit Retention Consulting There are a million+one ways your store’s profit can be threatened. We’re talking about what happens once the deal is done or the Repair Order is closed. In recent years, the erosion of skills and knowledge of the dealership workforce have cost dealers millions. Now that we’re through the worst part of the recession, that workforce has eroded further.  Let Kruse Control help you identify hidden areas where profit is elusive and discover why things are coming up short at the end of the month.

Management Training and Development There are $25 million in transactions every month at every car dealership in the world. For years there has never been a way to develop and train new car people, especially the ones who handle all your money. Let Kruse Control provide franchise-specific, one-on-one or group education customized to fit the needs of your organization.

Buy/Sell Consulting and Facilitation There are many opportunities to gain market share by adding a new store to your organization. Other opportunities lie in jettisoning under-performing stores so that you can concentrate on what matters most to your business goals.  Critical components of buy/sells can easily be overlooked without an expert eye. Let Kruse Control’s extensive experience with the negotiations, due diligence and specific details in buy/sells help you make the best deal you can so your escrow closes smoothly.

Expert Witness Litigation Support In this time of uncertainty, lawsuits have expanded as dealership staff and profits have contracted.  Kruse Control works with your legal team in unique ways that can only be accomplished through 3 decades of experience in the automotive retail environment. We have a remarkable way of explaining even the most intricate details of dealership operations to judges and juries, and thus assuring your legal team that all the evidence is communicated accurately.
